Dr. James Guinee

Arkansas, Arkansas - Psychologist
Online

I am licensed in Arkansas with nearly 30 years of professional work experience. I have spent the majority of my career in university counseling centers, but since 2020 I have branched out into the world of contract work, through a local hospital, employee assistance programs, and most recently Better Help. Working through Better Help means I get to primarily focus on the types of problems I have the most success with: depression and anxiety (especially due to irrational beliefs and over-thinking), relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, religious conflict, nightmares and dream interpretation, anger management, & low self-esteem. Issues that I do not work with include -addictions (particularly drug addiction and porn addiction) -physical illnesses and their impact on mental health -same sex attraction (including individuals who do not wish to have their same sex attraction affirmed) -sexual identity questioning -sexual intimacy problems For the past 25 years I have also provided couples therapy as well as premarital counseling. I really like working with couples, but naturally both of you have to be committed to the process. I have limited success with couples who are dealing with infidelity, and do not have the training or experience to help couples with physical intimacy issues. I believe that the best therapy comes from collaborating together, where I listen and give feedback, and where I provide a place where people can feel safe and be absolutely honest. I am personable, very chill, and do not push people. I have a high rate of success and I love what I do. I am very open to feedback. I don't fish for compliments, I want to make sure you are getting what you need from working with me. Your time and your money should be well spent. I check messages throughout the day, so I am particularly good at getting back to people in a very short amount of time. Reach out to me and I we’ll take a first step and see how it goes. John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
